The Master of Engineering degree in Industrial Engineering (MEng IE) offers students the opportunity to pursue advanced study in the fields of industrial and/or manufacturing engineering without also having to complete a research thesis or project. This coursework-only degree is concerned with the practical application of specialized, graduate-level engineering knowledge.

Students who are interested on our 100% online offering with Oregon State's Ecampus, MEng IE in Engineering Management, can find more information here.

Additional Notes

  • Master of Engineering students are not eligible to receive support in the form of graduate assistantships (GRAs or GTAs).

  • Master of Engineering students may switch to the Master of Science program at any time with the approval of a research professor.  The research professor must send an e-mail to the MIME Head Advisor for Graduate Programs confirming that they are in support of the change before the student submits a Change of Degree form.
